A CSR, or Corporate Social Responsibility Report, is a corporation's chance to make its case about how 'good' its being: how green, how fair, how generous. CSR's are something of a new trend: from a mere 26 such reports in 1992 to over 3000 of them in 2008, reporting on social responsibility is becoming the rule rather than the exception for large corporations.
Can we believe a report written by the corporation itself? While the process of reporting at least makes someone inside the upper levels of management pay attention to the issues, credible reporting is even better. |

Architects make choices - a lot of choices, applying a sort of precise creativity that balances environmental sustainability and asthetics with engineering principles and cost. So it seems natural that architects are taking a lead role in the Green Building movement, which addresses factors from energy conservation to recycled building materials, to toxicity of chemicals, to native plantings and more. The relative importance of the various factors - that "How Green is Green?" question - is addressed by a point system published by the US Green Building Council. Its called LEED, standing for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and encompasses a growing suite of standards updated regularly by committee with an open public approval process. |
